Lenovo Power Hub Adds USB Hub to ThinkPad Chargers

If you’re sick of carrying around a separate USB powered charging hub in addition to your ThinkPad notebook and its charger, then Lenovo has you covered. The company has recently announced a Lenovo Power Hub, which adds 4 USB ports to charge up your phone or other mobile gadgets using your ThinkPad’s power brick. The Power Hub connects to your ThinkPad in two spots–to one of your notebook’s USB ports and also to your notebook’s power port, and can power a notebook that’s rated for 65W or 90W. This convenience will cost you $75, but then you get to leave the USB hub, its separate power adapter, and your ThinkPad’s power brick at home and can carry just one charger. The Lenovo Power Hub is available now from Lenovo’s online store.
